    This document discusses how to configure and use OFS in telnet mode. It describes setting up an OFS.SOURCE record with a source type of TELNET. It also explains how to test an online connection by using tSS to simulate a connection or by configuring a raw-tcp listener in TCS. The key fields for an OFS.SOURCE record used in telnet mode are the ID, source type, login ID, syntax type, and generic user.

    The key takeaways are how to configure an OFS source for telnet mode, the differences between telnet and batch mode OFS sources, and two methods to test online connections using telnet and TC Server.

    To configure an OFS source for telnet mode, you need to set the SOURCE.TYPE to TELNET, provide a LOGIN.ID and GENERIC.USER.

    The differences in fields between telnet and batch mode OFS sources are the SOURCE.TYPE, which must be TELNET for telnet mode, the LOGIN.ID, which provides the OS user ID, and the GENERIC.USER, which specifies the T24 user context.

    You will learn how to configure and use OFS in the telnet mode in this session.

    OFS5.OFS Telnet Mode -R13 1


    At the end of this session you should be able to

    1. Configure OFS.SOURCE for Telnet


    2. Input and test OFS messages in the Telnet mode

    OFS5.OFS Telnet Mode -R13 2


    You see a sample OFS.SOURCE record for the Telnet mode. Compared to the Batch mode,
    the differences here are the SOURCE.TYPE, LOGIN.ID and GENERIC.USER fields .

    Login Id
    You need to enter the id of a OS level user. It is used to determine whether a direct Telnet
    connection should be allowed for that particular user.
    This field is not validated. Since the direct connection is no longer used, this field entry is not
    relevant. However you need to enter some value here since it is a mandatory field. The sample
    entry here shows ANY for example.
    Syntax Type
    Syntax type is always OFS for the Telnet mode.

    Generic User
    Generic User is mandatory for online connections. This is not relevant for connections via
    TCS. So then what was it’s use?

    This specified the T24 user context used by the OFS.ONLINE.MANAGER phantom process if
    the Source Type was Telnet. This user should have had security access to EB.PHANTOM.PH.

    If the IB.USER.CHECK was set to Yes, which was the case for OFS connections meant for the
    Temenos Internet Banking product, this user provided the SMS profile for all transactions.

    You can invoke tSS from the jshell prompt to simulate a online connection. Type tSS followed
    by an OFS.SOURCE record id (whose source type is TELNET). For e.g tSS TEST.TELNET

    You should see a screen similar to the one showed.

    OFS5.OFS Telnet Mode -R13 4


    Test if the online connection works by entering a OFS Enquiry request.
    E.g.
    ENQUIRY.SELECT,,AUTHOR/123123,CATEGORY-LIST

    OFS5.OFS Telnet Mode -R13 5


    Test if connection works with a transaction request as well.
    E.g.
    ABBREVIATION,/I/PROCESS,AUTHOR/123123,CUST,
    ORIGINAL.TEXT=CUSTOMER

    Note the INPUTTER audit field. It shows the that the inputter is the user that you supplied
    along with your message, and the OFS source is the one that you supplied as a parameter
    while invoking tSS.

    OFS5.OFS Telnet Mode -R13 6


    The source type to be used for browser connections is SESSION. However
    OFS.SESSION.MANAGER checks if the message is an xml type message (i.e. whether it
    begins with <?xml ) , and if so sets the Source Type to SESSION.

    OFS5.OFS Telnet Mode -R13 7


    The second method of testing an online connection is to use the raw-tcp listener of TC Server.

    A sample TC Server configuration is shown here


    <ADAPTER id="T24" type="TOCF" active="true">
    <MAX_SESSION>20</MAX_SESSION>
    <MIN_SESSION>20</MIN_SESSION>
    <CHARSET>UTF-8</CHARSET>
    <TIMEOUT>60</TIMEOUT>
    <STARTIN>C:\Temenos\bnk\bnk.run</STARTIN>
    <JBASEPATH>C:\Temenos\TAFC</JBASEPATH>
    <PROGRAM>C:\Temenos\ModelBank-
    R12.01\T24\Env\MB\bnk\bnk.run\t24bin\eb_interface\tSS</PROGRAM>
    <PARAMETER>GCS</PARAMETER>
    </ADAPTER>

    <LISTENER Name="raw.tcp" type="raw-tcp" active="true">


    <ADAPTERID>T24</ADAPTERID>
    <PORT> 7023 </PORT>
    </LISTENER>

    Watch for the highlighted portions. The GCS parameter is the id of an Ofs source record. This
    must be of type telnet. The type of the listener must raw-tcp. The port used must be unique.

    OFS5.OFS Telnet Mode -R13 8


    Once you have setup your TC Server, you can connect to the designated port by using
    any telnet client. For e.g you can use the default windows telnet client from the
    command prompt by typing

    TELNET LOCALHOST 7023

    After you get the TC Server prompt, you can type in an OFS request and press enter
    to get it processed.

    Important fields in OFS.SOURCE
    Id, Source Type, Login Id, Syntax Type, Generic User
    Session mode is used for browser connections
    Syntax type must be OFS for Telnet mode
    The max no of connections is set in TCS

    OFS5.OFS Telnet Mode -R13 15


    You should now be able to

    1. Configure OFS.SOURCE for Telnet


    2. Input and test OFS messages in the Telnet mode
